My mind is clouded,
I cannot hunt anymore.
I lay my gun over the tracks of the rabbit.

who could not decide
whether to flee or be still
and so was trapped in the pursuer's eyes-

those eyes have to be blank
because it is impossible
to kill and question at the same time.

Then the shutter snapped,
the rabbit went free. He flew
through the empty forest

that part of me
that was the victim.
Only victims have a destiny.

And the hunter, who believed
whatever struggles
begs to be torn apart:

that part is paralyzed. — Louise Gluck
